CULTURAL CAPITAL FUND
About
In October of 2020, the Cambridge Community Foundation and the City of Cambridge joined forces to launch a new Cultural Capital Fund to address urgent needs in the local arts and culture sector.
The Cultural Capital Fund invests in nonprofit organizations, individuals, and projects that preserve and nurture arts and culture in Cambridge ensuring that our city continues its long-standing tradition of innovation and strives to nurture the diversity and creativity vital to Cambridge.
To date, the Fund has awarded more than 40 grants to arts organizations. The Foundation also committed to building an endowment for the arts and culture sector to protect the city’s cultural richness over the long term.
